There is relatively small segment of leaders in the business world, who seem able to build relationships, trust, and rapport with almost anyone, and then are able to maintain the relationships and make connections between people, creating partnerships and alliances, and motivating forward momentum to “get things done”.

Feras Al Jabi is one of those people, ‘getting things done’ and driving results- through collaboration, partnerships and relationships- as an executive in the IT industry, is what is all about.

Over the past 29 years I have gained extensive, multifaceted experience in the information and communications technology (ICT) field in the region, as well as sound management experience across different  industries, working in both national and multinational organizations.

My experience with multinational organizations started with IBM Egypt in 1988, working my way from systems engineer in the IBM Applications Development Center to managing all systems engineering activities in the private sector department and a final promotion to General Business Sales Manager.

I joined Oracle Egypt in 1996 as a pre-sales manager, and was soon promoted to develop the applications business and manage operations for the first year. In June 1998, I became manager of the applications business unit in Egypt.

I joined Vodafone Egypt in 2004, encouraged by the ongoing boom in mobile communications. Starting as Head of Enterprise Sales and Solutions, I was promoted to Head of Enterprise Products, Services and Solutions in 2005 before assuming the position of Head of the Future Products Unit a role which included setting strategies to position the company as a key player in the converged world of communications, media and IT.

My range of operations management was further strengthened by my roles in national companies. I was involved in the initial setup and launch of three companies in Egypt, and successfully positioned these companies competitively in the market with the premier players.

I undertook the initiation of Egypt for Information Dissemination (EGID) in 1999, a company established with the objective of providing the Egyptian financial market with financial, economic and political information on a real-time basis where I assumed the position of General Manager.

In August 2000, I established NOOR, an Egyptian company specializing in the field of data communications, using state-of-the-art technology to offer both business and consumer services. Taking NOOR from a vision through inception to implementation entailed involvement in every detail, shaping and structuring the organization until each function and business unit was capable of operating at optimum performance level.

In 2002, I joined Bridge Technologies as General Manager, a company established the same year working in the field of information technology and data communications consulting, exporting software and services to the Middle East and North Africa region.

In 2007 I joined CIT Global MOBIDIV as Managing Director, a mobile software technology firm focusing on the smart phone market across various mobile operating systems.

At this stage I decided that my professional experience needed to be augmented by work in the public sector and so I joined the Ministry of State for Administrative Development (MSAD) in 2009 as Advisor to the Minister for the Development of Government Services Program. The program is responsible for modernizing all aspects of government services; access, process simplifications and new technologies. It is the spearhead of the e-Gov national program which started in Egypt in 2001. In January 2012, I was appointed 'Executive Director' for the National Management Institute , while keeping also the position of Minister Advisor.

I have represented the organizations I have worked for as well as the Egyptian government in national / regional / international conferences and forums which I attended constantly for more than two decades, over and above being invited as a speaker or member of the panel in many events held by international organizations both governmental and non-governmental. I have also been part of multi-national committees working on initiatives and designing global strategies and policies in both the ICT and e-Gov fields.

Capitalizing on all the above varied experience and using my knowledge of initiating start-up companies, as well as the operational and technical know-how necessary for company “turn-around” I undertook - during the past ten years - several consulting missions, both in the private and public sectors.

As a summation of my professional career, I believe I have benefitted greatly from having sound work ethics, and the credo of “acquiring knowledge is an on-going process”. I have also learnt the importance of mentoring and developing people, believing that the strength of any team depends on the strength of each of its components. At this point in my career I have also comprehended the significance of spending a period of time in public service, which I believe has broadened both my personal and professional perspective.
